(uncountable, usually)Hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against men.
““But this is a big issue. This boy was a product of this culture. And I think to talk about the culture is not misandry (the hatred of males), it’s not wrong and we do need to talk about it. If we want to know how to end this kind of violence we need to address the culture that created this kind of violence.”

Etymology
Formed in the late 19th century as mis- (“hatred”) + -andry (“men”) by analogy with misogyny; compare the Ancient Greek μισανδρία (misandría), from μισέω (miséō, “hate”) + ἀνήρ (anḗr, “man”).
